A Tramp,s PATHETIC PIea.

a neglected to take my annual bath
last summer, and l am suffering now for
my carelessness. l kept putting it off
until the weather became too cold. This
shows you, ma'am, the evil of procras-
tination. And let me add that if you
havo ii in your mind to give a poor
tramp a small drop of something to keep
him warm, now Is the time to do it. Do
not be like me, ma'aml Do not pro
crastinate and afterward carry around
with you a chestful of remorse and re-
gret. Be warned, madam, by one who
repents at the eleventh hour"
This admonition was too strong for the
lady to Withstand, and she Immediately
went into the house and brought the
tramp out a cup OF weak tea, steaming

Among the games enacted at some of
the Saxon peasant weddings there is ON
which deserves to be mentioned, afford
ing as it does a curious proof of the ten
acity of old pagan rites and customs,
transmitted by verbal tradition from n
generation to the other. This is the Ro5-
sci TAM, or dance of the horses, evidently
founded on an ancient Scandinavian le-
gend to be found in Snorri's "Eida." In
this tale the gods Thor and Loki came to
q peasants house in a carriage drawn by
two goats or rams, and asked for a nights
lodging. Thor killed the two rams, and
with the peasant and his family consumed
their flesh for supper. The bones were
then ordered to be thrown in a heap on
to the hides of the animals; but one of the
peasants son had in eating broken open
a bone in order to get at the marrow
within, and next morning when the god
commanded the goats to get up, n Of
them limped on the hind leg, because Of
the broken bone.
AT first Thor was in Il great rage, and
threatened to destroy the whole family,
but finally allowed himself to be pacified,
and accepted the two sons as hostages.
In the peasant drama we have now be-
fore us the gods Thor and Loki are re
placed by u colonel and a lieutenant col
onel, and instead of two goats there are
two horses and one goat; also the two
sons Of the peasants are here designated
as Wallachians. Everything is, Of course,
much distorted and changed, but still all
the principal features of the drama,
which space forbids me hero to enlarge
upon, are clearly recognizable. The kill
ing of the goat and its subsequent resur-
%rection, the rage of the colonel, and the
transferment of tho two W~allachians into
his service being all parts of the perform
